Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 78 This spendthrift brat

As night deepened, the entire house was enveloped in the stillness of darkness.

In the bedroom on the first floor of the Ming family home, two nannies who were taking care of Minghui helped him move to the bed.

"Leaning against... just leaning against..."

At Minghui's signal, the two nannies skillfully placed the cushions behind him. Seeing that Yan Jie probably still had something to say to Minghui, the nannies discreetly left Minghui's bedroom.

The bedroom door was gently closed, and Yan Jie then walked to Minghui's bedside and sat down.

“I know what you’re thinking about. I’ll make a video call to Weiwei right now.”

While it was said that Minghui was concerned about Mingweiyi, Yanjie was also very concerned about how Mingweiyi was doing today.

The video call connected smoothly, and the phone screen showed Ming Weiyi with her hair down, leaning against the bed.

"Mom, I was just about to call you when I didn't expect you to video call me."

Mingwei waved at the camera, and Minghui on the other end of the video was watching her with a smile.

"How did your engagement party with Pei Ming go today?" Yan Jie didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Of course it went very smoothly, but it was really tiring, and I also felt a little awkward facing Pei Ming's family."

Mingwei also spoke frankly about her experience at the engagement, but she would never reveal Xu Ling's story now.

"I hope everything went smoothly. Did you get used to everything at the Pei family's place this time?"

"I'm doing fine here, so you and Dad can rest assured."

Seeing Ming Weiyi's bright smile, Ming Hui nodded reassuredly, "Don't worry... don't worry..."

"Where's Pei Ming? I haven't seen him." Yan Jie asked tentatively about Pei Ming's whereabouts. She was quite curious about how Ming Wei had spent the night at the Pei family's house.

Without hesitation, Mingwei answered Yan Jie's question, "Pei Ming went to take a shower. Do you have any questions for him?"

Based on this answer, Yan Jie can preliminarily conclude that Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming are in the same bedroom; otherwise, Ming Weiyi's answer would have been that Pei Ming was not in her room.

"What could I possibly ask him? I was just wondering if he was with you when you went to a strange place all by yourself." This was Yan Jie's upgraded version of trying to get information out of Ming Wei.

"Mom, don't worry, Pei Ming has always been with me. He has almost never disappeared from my sight."

When facing Yan Jie, Ming Wei really answered whatever came to mind, and she answered very quickly.

In an instant, Yan Jie easily learned about the current progress between Ming Wei and Pei Ming.

"Okay, you're tired today, and your dad needs to rest too. Goodnight." Having asked the question she wanted to ask, Yan Jie chose to end the video call.

"Okay, Dad, Mom, you two should get some rest. If I'm not busy at work on Monday, I'll come home for dinner tonight."

As the video call was about to end, a feeling of homesickness inexplicably welled up in Ming Weiyi's heart, even though they were more than 800 kilometers apart.

"Okay, your dad and I will wait for you at home."

"Waiting for you...waiting for you to come home."

In the video call, Minghui and Yanjie smiled gently and lovingly, which made Mingwei miss home even more. Fortunately, she didn't have to marry far away to City C; she was only going to stay here for a couple of days.

Yan Jie hung up the video call. Ming Wei stared blankly at the disappearing screen for a few seconds. She suddenly realized that she had only been in City C for a day and was already homesick. Pei Ming had been in Jiangcheng alone for so long. He must have been homesick too, right?

She recalled Pei Ming's words: as long as she needed him, he would stay at the Ming Group for her sake. Ming Wei felt deeply moved. At the other end of the room, the bathroom door opened, and Pei Ming emerged wearing loose pajamas, drying his wet hair with a towel as he walked.

Before Pei Ming could even get close to Ming Weiyi, Ming Weiyi's phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Another video call came in on her phone, and Mingwei quickly pressed the answer button.

"You two missed me?"

On the other end of the video call, Ming Chengze and Ouyang Xin sat together in front of the computer, and they happily waved to Ming Weiyi.

"Sister, today is your engagement day, so of course we're here to wish you and your husband happiness and joy!"

Ouyang Xin answered Ming Weiyi's question first, because she didn't want Ming Chengze to say anything unpleasant on this auspicious day.

From the voice coming from Ming Weiyi's phone, Pei Ming knew that the video call was from Ming Chengze and Ouyang Xin, so he naturally sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Sis, why didn't you send us any of your beautiful photos today? This isn't like you at all," Ming Chengze teased Ming Weiyi as always.

Ming Wei rolled her eyes at Ming Chengze without any politeness, "I'm exhausted today, I don't have time to send you photos."

Today, besides the physical exhaustion from the engagement banquet, everyone was also mentally exhausted by Pei Cheng's situation.

"Where's my brother-in-law? Has he already gone to sleep?" Ouyang Xin simply asked Pei Ming a question, hoping that he could hear her words of blessing.

When Ouyang Xin asked about Pei Ming, Ming Wei casually turned her phone and herself towards Pei Ming.

"Brother-in-law, you were right there, why didn't you say anything?" Looking at Pei Ming in Ming Weiyi's lens, Ouyang Xin instantly became a bystander.

In Ouyang Xin and Ming Chengze's eyes, Pei Ming and Ming Wei were both wearing pajamas at this moment, and they were sitting on the same bed!
"Oh, I was drying my hair just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to be in the picture," Pei Ming quickly came up with an excuse.

In fact, Pei Ming thought that at this point in time, Ming Wei would not allow herself to appear in Ming Chengze and Ouyang Xin's sight.

"You two! Aren't you moving a little too fast! You've only known each other for a few days and you're already..."

The way Ming Chengze pointed at Ming Weiyi and spoke to her was just like a parent who had caught their daughter dating too early.

"Ming Chengze, are you out of your mind?! My sister and brother-in-law are a legally married couple. What business is it of yours to tell them what's going on in their relationship?" Ouyang Xin rolled her eyes at Ming Chengze as well.

Mingwei was also speechless. The two people in front of her were really thinking too much, but she was too lazy to explain.

Since no explanation was offered, Mingwei simply changed the subject, "How are you two doing in Paris? Are you settling in well?"

Pei Ming, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised at this moment. Ming Weiyi actually let Ming Chengze think wildly, and she didn't explain.

"It's alright. Young people are adaptable. I'm planning to choose a car in a few days so that it will be more convenient for Xinxin and me to travel."

"You still love cars? How many cars have you fallen in love with? You're not satisfied with the car Mom prepared for you, are you?" Ming Weiyi looked at Ming Chengze with eyes full of disdain.

Upon hearing Yan Jie's name, Ming Chengze quickly said, "Shh! Don't let it slip to Mom, at least not in the last three months."

"Alright, alright, get lost. I'm tired and want to sleep." Ming Wei was too lazy to waste her sleep time on this spendthrift Ming Chengze.

"Goodnight, sister and brother-in-law, it's still early here," Ouyang Xin said with a sweet smile.

As the video call was about to end, Pei Ming and Ming Wei waved to the two people on the screen in perfect unison.

"Bye-Bye……"
